The L471 Dwarf Snowball Pleco or L471 Mini Snowball Pleco is one of several small spotted species of Hypancistrus found in the upper Orinoco River basin of South America. Like its relatives, it prefers warm, slightly soft water and is sensitive to poor water quality so regular water changes are a must. They should be fed a varied diet high in proteins, including frozen bloodworms, sinking prepared foods, and Repashy gel diet.
